More than nine in ten school leaders (92 percent) are opposed to plans from Ofsted to introduce a report card system for inspecting schools, according to a snap poll by the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT).

The poll of 3,045 members also found that 96 percent of school leaders do not think that Ofsted will make meaningful changes in response to views shared by professionals.
